Byland Abbey

Byland Abbey, is an English Heritage site, is noted for its glazed tiles and remains of a high circular window in the west wall.

Byland was a Cistercian abbey and much of the huge cathedral-sized church survives, including the whole north side and the greater part of the 13th-century west front.

It is believed that the great circular rose window, now surviving only in part, was probably the model for the rose window of York Minster.

The Abbey is open to the public from 1 Apr-30 Sep from 11am-6pm Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, & Sun.
